Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry decided to step down as senior members of the Royal Family back in 2020, before starting a life for themselves in America.
Prince Harry has become "dependent" on Meghan Markle after moving away from his family and friends, according to one royal expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex uprooted their lives and moved across the pond after stepping down from the Royal Family three years ago. They currently live in Montecito, California, with their two children - Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
After moving away from the UK, royal author Phil Dampier believes Harry has left behind his friends. The expert believes the Duke of Sussex now relies on his wife for a lot of his social experiences.
Phil said there has been "a massive cost for Harry" in moving to California. Speaking to Fabulous magazine, he said: "Not only has he lost his family, his royal status and military connections, but he’s also lost a lot of friends.
"I get the impression he hasn't got a circle of drinking buddies he can unwind within Montecito, which has a population of older people, and I'm sure that takes its toll." Phil said he believes that Harry "is dependent on Meghan for his social life".
Despite these comments, Harry did recently enjoy a trip away from Meghan. Just two weeks ago, he was seen smiling and waving at fans as he visited a race track in Austin, Texas.
The Duke of Sussex met the Mercedes team and looked very relaxed during his solo trip. Behind the scenes, Harry seemed animated as he chatted to the team and listened carefully to everything they had to say.
